Depth of field and crop factor misconceptions (FF and MFT equivalence)

Share

“Biscuits Alive” posted that video where he explains in detail how the FF and MFT equivalence works. He writes:

There is still a lot of incorrect information out there about –
-Depth of field
-Crop sensor vs full frame cameras
-Speedboosters
-Light refraction

And it seems many people who profess to know all about their camera gear, don’t actually fully know some of the basics regarding-
-Aperture
-Focal length
-The focus plane
-Crop factor
-The Circle of confusion
-ISO
-Image noise

So I decided to talk about all of the above, and I drew some simple illustrations for you, and also took a few photos to help show what is actually happening to the light as it travels through our cameras lens.

Six-month review of the GH5 for wedding videographers by Ben Pendlebury

Share

Ben sent me his valuable insights on the GH5:

My name is Ben Pendlebury and I’m a wedding videographer from a city called Derby in the UK. I’ve been filming weddings for over four years now and last year I switched over from Canon to a full GH5 set-up.  I’ve really fallen in love with this camera and after using it for over six months, I was keen to make a Youtube review, talking about the good and bad things about the camera from a wedding videographer’s point-of-view.
I’ve spent a long time making the video and have included lots of b-roll showing the camera in use, as well as footage captured at weddings:
